BOX 49, MANHASSET, NEW YORK 11030 CHIEF EDITOR, COMPILER, AND ART DIRECTOR DOLLY SVOBODNY CONSULTANTS WARREN BORN ALVINA TREUT BURROWS SPENCER MAXCY 4 THE EARLY AMERICAN TEXTBOOK COLLECTION is a special historical collection housed in the Educational Research Library of the Office of Educational Researchand Improvement. The Collection containsmore than 12,000 vol- umes of texts used or published in America during the eight eenth and nineteenth centuries. Textbooks used in the subject N.. fields most commonly taught in the early schools,as well as books used for supplementary reading and study,are represented in the Collection This Catalog of Early American Textbooks isan attempt to provide wider visibility and access to this outstanding Collection. te The Collection had its beginning :it the Bureau of Education, establishedwithin the Department of Interior in 1869, and the forerunner of theU.S. Office of Education. Early administators in the Bureau believed it desirableto collect these books, which were becoming scarce, in order to providea better historical record of their development, and to exhibit them along with modern textbooks forcomparative purposes. Henry Barnard, the first Commissioner of Education, expressedinterest in the Collection and contributed books from his personal library. A "Museum ofTextbooks' was planned by the Bureau; howev 1r, it never materialized because of lack of funds andshortages of space. In 1953, when the Department of Health, Education, and Welfarewas created, the former Bureau of Education Library was merged with the newly establisheddepartmental library. Only a small portion of the Early American TextbookCollection was retained in this library. The remainder of the Collectionwas fragmented and deposited in various public, college and university libraries in the Washingtonarea. In 1973, that portion of the textbooks housed at the departmental librarywas transferred along with the major education collection at the National Institute of Educationto form the nucleus of the Educational Research Library. With the increase in requests for volumes not included in the Library'ssmall collection of textbooks, it soon became evident that therewas indeed a scarcity of early American textbooks. Researchers and historians were often unableto locate copies of earlier edi- tions at other libraries. Recognizing the need fora comprehensive collection of early American textbooks, the Library initiated steps to acquire the remainingvolumes which were in storage at three area libraries. In 1977, the final portion of the Early American Textbook Collection was officially transferred to the EducationalResearch Library. For the first time in several decades, the textbooks havenow been integrated and housed as a single collection. This Catalog of Early American Textbooks containsa representative selection of textbooks from the overall Collection and is a sequel volume to the Fifteenthto Eighteenth Century Rare Books on Education published by the Institute in 1976.As a result of the efforts expended in the compilation of these volumes, two significanthistorical collections, the Early American Textbook Collection and the Rare Book Collection,have been perma- nently established as educational resources for future study and researchon the early development and trends in American education.

They provide clues about how teachers taughtthe methods of instruction.And they reveal what was expected of studentsthe standards of pupil assessment and evaluation.But the American textbooks of the nine- teenth century do more than merely supply dataon these aspects of education; the history of these school textbooks gives usa valuable key to understanding the dynamics of educational change in America For American education is, and has long been,textbook-centered. School textbooks largely determine the content of what it taught, the methods ofinstruction, and the ..:eans of assessing stu- dent performance. The history of American school textbookschronicles and reflects the essential changes in American education. Early American texts had English ancestors The textbook-centeredness of American education becamea permanent feature of our schools when Americans began compiling theirown textbooks in the aftermath of the war for independence from England. Noah Webster first showed theway and set the course in the 1780's when he declared thathe wantedtoprepare"a book from which children couldreallylearn how to spell" something, he added "which was difficult for them in the booksextant." Those "extant" books, mostly imported from England, all shareda common theory of education: to discipline the minds of children by confronting them with wordsas difficult and as arcane as possible. One single lesson from Thomas Dilworth's A New Guideto the English Tongue, for example, contained the following: Aberconiway, Caglian, Carencester, Compostella,Elezeer.. .17,y Other lessons served up such tongue twistersas: Nebuzaradum, Estremadure, Saxigesime, an8 Abelbethmaleah. Noah Webster's book appeared in 1783. Ezra Stiles, the Presidentof Yale, urged Webster to give it the

  • Making Amusement the Vehicle of Instruction’: Key Developments in the Nursery Reading Market 1783-1900
    1 ‘Making amusement the vehicle of instruction’: Key Developments in the Nursery Reading Market 1783-1900 PhD Thesis submitted by Lesley Jane Delaney UCL Department of English Literature and Language 2012 SIGNED DECLARATION 2 I, Lesley Jane Delaney confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ABSTRACT 3 ABSTRACT During the course of the nineteenth century children’s early reading experience was radically transformed; late eighteenth-century children were expected to cut their teeth on morally improving texts, while Victorian children learned to read more playfully through colourful picturebooks. This thesis explores the reasons for this paradigm change through a study of the key developments in children’s publishing from 1783 to 1900. Successively examining an amateur author, a commercial publisher, an innovative editor, and a brilliant illustrator with a strong interest in progressive theories of education, the thesis is alive to the multiplicity of influences on children’s reading over the century. Chapter One outlines the scope of the study. Chapter Two focuses on Ellenor Fenn’s graded dialogues, Cobwebs to catch flies (1783), initially marketed as part of a reading scheme, which remained in print for more than 120 years. Fenn’s highly original method of teaching reading through real stories, with its emphasis on simple words, large type, and high-quality pictures, laid the foundations for modern nursery books. Chapter Three examines John Harris, who issued a ground- breaking series of colour-illustrated rhyming stories and educational books in the 1810s, marketed as ‘Harris’s Cabinet of Amusement and Instruction’.

  • James Russell Lowell - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series James Russell Lowell - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive James Russell Lowell(22 February 1819 – 12 August 1891) James Russell Lowell was an American Romantic poet, critic, editor, and diplomat. He is associated with the Fireside Poets, a group of New England writers who were among the first American poets who rivaled the popularity of British poets. These poets usually used conventional forms and meters in their poetry, making them suitable for families entertaining at their fireside. Lowell graduated from Harvard College in 1838, despite his reputation as a troublemaker, and went on to earn a law degree from Harvard Law School. He published his first collection of poetry in 1841 and married Maria White in 1844. He and his wife had several children, though only one survived past childhood. The couple soon became involved in the movement to abolish slavery, with Lowell using poetry to express his anti-slavery views and taking a job in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as the editor of an abolitionist newspaper. After moving back to Cambridge, Lowell was one of the founders of a journal called The Pioneer, which lasted only three issues. He gained notoriety in 1848 with the publication of A Fable for Critics, a book-length poem satirizing contemporary critics and poets. The same year, he published The Biglow Papers, which increased his fame. He would publish several other poetry collections and essay collections throughout his literary career. Maria White died in 1853, and Lowell accepted a professorship of languages at Harvard in 1854.

  • The Romantic Poetry Handbook
    The Romantic Poetry Handbook This comprehensive survey of British Romantic poetry explores the work of six poets whose names are most closely associated with the Romantic era – Wordsworth, Coleridge, Blake, Keats, Byron, and Shelley – as well as works by other significant but less widely studied poets such as Leigh Hunt, Charlotte Smith, Felicia Hemans, and Letitia Elizabeth Landon. Along with its exceptional coverage, the volume is alert to relevant contexts, and opens up ways of understanding Romantic poetry. The Romantic Poetry Handbook encompasses the entire breadth of the Romantic Movement, from Anna Laetitia Barbauld to Thomas Lovell Beddoes and John Clare. In its central section ‘Readings’ it explores tensions, change, and continuity within the Romantic Movement, and examines a wide range of individual poems and poets through sensitive, attentive, and accessible analyses. In addition, the authors provide a full introduction, a detailed historical and cultural timeline, biographies of the poets whose works are featured, and a helpful guide to further reading. The Romantic Poetry Handbook is an ideal text for undergraduate and postgraduate students of British Romantic poetry. It will also appeal to those with a general interest in poetry and Romantic literature. Michael O’Neill, is Professor of English at Durham University, UK. He has published widely on many aspects of Romantic literature, especially the work of Percy Bysshe Shelley, Victorian poetry, and an array of British, Irish, and American twentieth- and twenty-first-century poets. His most recent book is, as editor, John Keats in Context (2017). He has also published three volumes of poetry. Madeleine Callaghan, is Lecturer in Romantic Literature at the University of Sheffield, UK.
